ITS - Office of Information Security Risk Review SLA

All SLAs are per the University’s regular business hours; Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

  • Initial Response - someone from the Office of Information Security will begin work on your request within 3 days of receipt of your request transitioning the request from “in review” to “in progress."
  • Within 5 days following the initial response, you will receive a follow-up notice with a request for additional information which may include you collecting additional data needed for the review. If you are unfamiliar with the data items being requested, OIS can assist you. This is referred to as Risk Review Triage.
